Our new convenient drop off site for payments of water, sewer, recycle bills and local citations is located one door south of the main entrance of 405 Main Street, it is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Water meters are read generally around the first of each month and the bills are due the 25th of each month. If paying after the 25th a late charge is added to your account.
Water is metered in Pecatonica. A water customer will receive a monthly bill based on the gallons of water going through the meter. Charge: $.49 per 100 gallons of volume used. A minimum charge of $2.59 for 0 gallons per month is also included.
Sewer is based on metered water. A sewer customer will receive a monthly bill based on the number of gallons of water which has gone through the meter. Charge: $.86 per 100 gallons of metered water consumption. A minimum charge of $16.08 for 0 gallons per month is also included.
Water and Sewer customers outside of the Village Limits will pay a different rate, check with the Village Clerk for those rates.
